Discontinued Equestrian Events at the Olympic Games

Equestrian Events have long been a part of the Olympic Games. A horse event was also part of the ancient Olympics - Chariot Racing.

The following events once were part of the Equestrian program but are no more.

• High jump — 1900
• Long jump — 1900
• Vaulting (also called Figure Riding), team & individual — 1920

Polo is another Olympic Games horse riding sport that is also discontinued.

Notes

• At the 1900 Summer Olympics, five equestrian events were contested. Only three are currently considered Olympic by the International Olympic Committee, the High Jump, Long Jump, and the Jumping Competition (similar to the modern event). The other two events held were the Hacks and hunter combined (Chevaux de Selle) and the Mail coach, Four-in-Hand.
